Design

• THE EVOLUTION OF DUCATI DNA: The Panigale V2 is the first mid-size sports bike in Ducati history to be designed from scratch, rather than deriving from the ‘larger’ models. The design is inspired by that of the Panigale V4, with lines and concepts transferred across to the mechanical base, but it all began with a blank page. This approach results in a more horizontal dynamic and less front load, which highlights the compactness of the V engine.
• THE ESSENCE OF DUCATI SPORTS ATTITUDE: The Panigale V2 retains the design spirit of the V4, inheriting its sports attitude and reinterpreting it in a more compact, refined guise.
• EVERY DETAIL IS IMPORTANT: The Panigale V2 cleaves the air with complex volumes, conveying the perfect balance of aggression and elegance, typical of Ducati supersports. A more horizontal dynamic and less front load highlights the compactness of the V2 engine.
• DESIGN INSPIRED BY THE PANIGALE V4: The Panigale V2 is the first supersport in Ducati history to be designed from scratch, rather than deriving from the ‘bigger’ models. The design is clearly inspired by the Panigale V4, but the lines and concepts have been totally reinterpreted to suit the mechanical base.
• SHAPES AND BALANCE: A more horizontal dynamic and less front load highlights the compactness of the V2. The clean and simple design is characterized by expansive, smooth, taut surfaces that convey complex volumes. The result is a sports bike that perfectly balances aggression and elegance, like every Ducati supersport.
• ERGONOMIC TANK: The tank on the Panigale V2 flaunts an ergonomic layout similar to the Panigale V4, optimising rider support when braking and hanging off mid-turn. With no metal parts, the surfaces in contact with the rider ensure better anchoring of the knees, less arm fatigue during braking, and reduced physical effort when out of the seat through the corners.
• SEAT DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND CONTROL: 837 mm from the ground, the rider’s seat ensures feet can easily reach the ground. The height of the semi-handlebars is designed to reduce load on the wrists, while the footpeg position minimizes knee fatigue, while ensuring excellent mobility during sports riding. The passenger seat, well distanced from the footpegs, offers sufficient padding and greater overall comfort.
• GREATER THERMAL COMFORT THANKS TO AIR VENTS: Behind the fairing, ducts direct fresh air coming from the front towards the rider’s legs. This solution works in synergy with the upper vents, designed to redirect hot air from the radiator, to ensure a cool and comfortable riding environment even during the most intense sessions.
• AN ERGONOMIC REVOLUTION: Totally redesigned from scratch, the Panigale V2 offers a modern riding position, more comfortable and versatile compared to the previous model. The thermal comfort of the rider reaches heights, ensuring a better experience in every situation.
• PROPORTIONS: The perfect balance of aggression and elegance.
• TANK: Designed to support the rider when braking and hanging off the bike mid-turn.
• SILENCERS: Positioned under the seat, they evoke that unmistakable Panigale style.
• TAIL SECTION: With full fairing, just like the MotoGP Desmosedici.
• SIDE VIEW: Clearly inspired by the Panigale V4, with clean, bold shapes.

Engine

• THE LIGHTEST TWIN-CYLINDER IN DUCATI HISTORY: Weighing in at just 119 lbs, the V2 engine is the lightest Ducati twin ever produced. Its lightness contributes to the significant weight reduction of the Panigale V2, which boasts a dry weight of 388 lbs. This engine guarantees benchmark performance on track and is also enjoyable and entertaining on the road thanks to its generous torque.

Ergonomics

• GEOMETRIES FOR EXCEPTIONAL FEELING: The geometries of the Panigale V2 ensure unprecedented stability and handling. The riding position is more comfortable, and the thermal comfort of the rider significantly improved. The design of the tank, which better supports the rider during sports riding, recalls that of the Panigale V4, but is adapted to the mechanical base and altered ergonomic triangle. Surfaces in contact with the rider are designed to encapsulate support, comfort and versatility, making the Panigale V2 as efficient on the track as it is enjoyable and comfortable to ride on the road, the physical effort required to ride it always contained.

Performance

• TRACK-LEVEL PERFORMANCE TO ENJOY ON THE ROAD: During development tests on track, the Panigale V2 proved as fast as the previous model, despite that version having been conceived as a race bike with lights, number plate and rear-view mirrors. This, thanks to the 37 lbs weight saving, a lightweight and modern chassis, ergonomics, the significant engine torque, and an ease of riding unknown to the previous V2. Aboard the Panigale V2, the rider is comfortable right from the first corner and better able to reach the limit, thanks to the reduced physical effort required to ride it.
• FAST ON TRACK, PERFECTED FOR THE ROAD: The Panigale V2 is designed to stand out on track and offer an unprecedented riding experience on the road. It takes up the baton from a winning model, recently crowned Supersport World Champion for a second consecutive time and the winner of the Italian title with Ducati test rider, Davide Stirpe.
• REDESIGNED ERGONOMIC TRIANGLE: The ergonomic triangle offers comfort, versatility and control, without limiting track performance. The position of the clip-ons ensures excellent support during braking and contributes to reducing the riding effort. The shape of the tank guarantees effective support when braking and hanging off the bike, ensuring the ideal riding position and greater confidence during sports riding.
• FORGED SEMI-HANDLEBARS: The Panigale V2 is equipped with a pair of forged aluminium semi-handlebars mounted above the steering head. Thanks to their raised position, these semi-handlebars guarantee exceptional control and stability, as well as comfort and versatility on the road. When equipped with the lowered semi-handlebars, available as a separate accessory, the Panigale V2 transforms into a real track bike with an even lower centre of gravity, for better handling through the turns.
• PERFORMANCE SEAT: 837 mm from the ground, the rider’s seat ensures feet can easily reach the ground. The position of the semi-handlebars is designed to reduce load on the wrists, while the footpeg position minimizes knee fatigue, facilitating more physical riding when the pace picks up.
• ERGONOMIC TANK: The tank on the Panigale V2 flaunts an ergonomic layout similar to the Panigale V4, optimising rider support when braking and hanging off mid-turn. With no metal parts, the surfaces in contact with the rider ensure better anchoring of the knees, less arm fatigue during braking, and reduced physical effort when out of the seat through the corners.

Vehicle

• THE LIGHTEST PANIGALE OF ALL TIME: With a dry weight of just 388 lbs for the S version, the new Panigale V2 is the lightest Panigale ever produced. Weighing 37 lbs less than the previous generation, this extraordinary lightness translates into a unique riding experience, on both road and track.
